priest, Father Kolansky, had been deposed

priest in charge, the building was closed
and has so remained since. At intervals
there have been rumors of it's reopening,
each report creating great excitement
among the congregation, which numbered
1000. Within few days the report be-
came current that the church would be re-
opened by Father Dombroski on March
9th. This report aroused the Kolaneky
faction and trouble was anticipated. To-

six months before Manning's illness, made
some prediction with regard to the Secre.
tary and advised friends to warn him OF
his danger. In an interview to-day Sewers
says: 1T may be deemed impertinent
to talk to the President through
newspapers, but l know of no
other way of reaching him and
those about him. Surely you recall
my attempts with friends OF Manning and
their fruit and do not feel that l should
take the same chances in this matter.

An Attorney ON His Ear.

New YORK, March 21.-In the trial OF ex-
Alderman Cleary to-day hiA counsel, Sha-
fer, made An attack on the press of the
city, charging them with being in league to
secure the conviction Of his client. Shafer
spoke in terms OF bitter invective against
the proprietor OF a morning paper Of this
city. He was brought to stop by sharp
rap OF the gavel. The court said the Jurors
knew nothing af the paper assaults, and
counsel must desist. Turning upon tho
twenty reporters around the table,
the advocate yelled, ''There
they are!" There they are''
There they are!' Burning
geniuses of the press!' "There
isn't one OF them you could trust in your
house, except the fat man." Three or four
flushing quill pushers at the table, each
taking this to themselves, blushed confus-
edly. He contended that the testimony
that the defendant had been seen at meet
ings of other boodlers was looked up by
detectives. His client is a poor man and
was paying for his defense out of honestly
earned money. Shafer spoke for over two
hours.

was considered high ground. The ware.
house which is nearly 700 feet in length was

ing against the bluffs. The loss on this
south ofBismarck comprising G. 900 acres is
now one vast sea. and the water is flowing
through the newly made channel at the
rate OF ten miles per hour. The river at
this point, which is three quarters of a
mile wide, is now over six miles wide. The
Northern Pacific trains will hardly be able
to cross the river for several days, and Bis.
marck will probably be the western termi-
nus for q week. Superintendent Graham
attempted to go to Mandan, but the water
on the west side ia flowing over the track
four feet, and the fires in the engine were
put out. Mandan is submerged, and the
people in the lower part OF the city have
been moving into the upper stories
of their dwellings. All small dwellings
on the banks OF the stream have been
swept away or destroyed, and steamboats,
lying ut Rock Haven are in danger. The
high trestle of the Northern Pacific at this
point has been damaged. At o'clock the
new channel which the river has cut across
the prairie let out the ice and the river is
falling slowly, but the worst has not come.
The ice went out at Fort Buford this morn
ing with rise Of 80 feet higher than ever
known. This flood will not reach here un-
til Saturday when there will probably be
terrible destruction.

THE CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
The are Liable to Die of Old Ago In
Prison.


CHICAGO, March 18.-The News spscia
from Ottawa. Illinois, says: Speking of the
possibilities in relation to the decision in
the Anarchist case, Judge Scofield, Of the
Supreme Court, said that in the case OF the
reversal and ordering Of new trial the
opinion of the court would be sent here
and would be made public as soon as it is
arrived at. But in case the decision of the
lower court is affirmed the public will not
be apprised OF the fact until the court
meets again at Ottawa, in September next.
In case of the affirmation the court must
fix the date of execution. and must do it
in open court and in the district where the
case belongs. The court will ad-
journ it's session here next week,
and it is OF course impossible
for the court to examine the bulky record
and return an opinion before adjournment.
It follows that it will be impossible for the
Anarchists to be hanged before next fall.
Sentence cannot be affirmed, and the day
of execution fiexed before the first Tuesday
in September. About q month would be
doubtless allowed between the day of af1ir-
nation and the day of execution. The con-
ing hanged before October. Since the arg
.neHts, have seeE E-Eade- the prevailing
opinion here seems to be that the verdict
10 the court below will be sustained by the
Supreme Court. Mr.. SWEET returned to
Chicago at O'Clock. Other counsel will
return in the morning.
